ML really requires more than a tutorial. Just bite the bullet and take Andrew Ng's ML class. To understand ML you've got to have at least a basic understanding of the math. And it's really not that difficult, especially if you find the right class/book/professor/etc. The problem is that there are a ton of terrible writers and instructors out there. I think it's just as important to ignore the terrible stuff (pretty much any blog post on ML) as it is to learn from the good stuff (e.g. Ng's ML course).
